Everyday Systems

See, one of my favourite things about No-S is the podcast. I like the humour, how it's as much psychological as scientific, and I find Reinhard easy to listen to. Since I finished all the podcasts, I've been looking for others that are similarly well done, but haven't found any I've liked quite as much.
Any recommendations? Other types besides dieting or fitness are welcome as well.

The podcasts I listen to have nothing to do with dieting/eating, but here's a sampling...


Cogknitive - a knitting podcast by a cognitive psychologist who always throws in a "life strategy" (there are a LOT of knitting podcasts, since knitters like to have something to listen to)

Zencast

Wait, Wait, Don't tell me (news quiz on NPR)

Car Talk (also NPR)

Coffe-break French (short language-learning podcast)

Hope one of these is amusing... and hope to get other good suggestions as well.

The Nutrition Diva has a great podcast about "Metabolism myths":

Plus many other great ones on her site. She seems like someone who really knows their stuff and goes about it in a sensible way.

I second Wait, Wait and Car Talk.

The Splendid Table is the mother of all food podcasts. Not just recipes or how to, but lots of cultural discussion, and funny. There's a big archive on the Splendidtable.org website.

Radiolab is another. It's about science but done in a meandering, entertaining fashion. I listened to an episode called "Limits" the other day and it kept me walking longer than I'd planned.

Yale's Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity has podcasts which might be of interest:

There are some fascinating abstracts of their research publications, too (text, though, not podcasts):
